So i see the title it says cmw, but no mention of it in the op...

Will this tool unlock and put cmw on my device or do i have to unlock prior to use.

Also while i have youre attention, has there between any developments in unlocking without sending your serial to Asus?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_FNG:
Hmm. ADB reports:

C:\Users\Stevemit\Desktop\Prime Time>adb devices

List of devices attached

BCOXXXXXXX97 device​

QT-ADB can access the device just fine, but *****es about not having root. I'm running 9.4.2.15, yet when I select either option 1 or 2, it responds:

You MUST install the Asus Drivers packaged with PrimeTime. Install the drivers

in the "Android" folder located in the folder "Drivers"

For more directions, please see the 2nd post in the XDA thread.

Press any key to continue . . .​

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
That's just a general warning... not a actual warning pertaining to you. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_FNG:
Oh. Oops. :)

UPDATE: OK. Batch file proceeded w/o error. However, Titanium responds with "Sorry dude, no root access" or similar.

UPDATE: OK. Uninstalled Titanium, and reinstalled. All is well.

this tool will root you if you not already. then it will download the unlock tool to your device. it'll tell you to install the tool and unlock your device. then you go back to vipertool and it will put CMW, possibly the latest version, on your device. then you done. now to flash your roms, you have to manually boot into CMW recovery. make a Nandroid backup. then do factory reset/data wipe, etc..details in op or CMW thread. then point bootloader to where your rom is you want to flash and flash away..lmao I believe that's how it goes.

no developement really yet on unofficial way of unlocking. so unlocking now will send your serial to Asus then your warranty is voided. there are some people working on a man in the middle attack method of trying to packet sniff and intercept the encryption keys. check out the decompiling bootloader tool thread for details.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morgan39:
After applying the viperMOD PrimeTime v4.5 only for root, the prime is rooted Ok; if power off the tabblet and, after then, I use Power the system star Ok.

But after power off if I use Power+Vol up then noticed a vibration but not start.

I continue pressing Power+Vol down and/or Power+Vol up and randomly reboots. What can be happening?

Originally by pressing Power + Vol down went out a menu but I do not see this menu now.

Thanks for sharing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Power + Vol_Up brings you to the APX mode, not the bootloader. You need to press and hold power+ vol_down in order to get to the bootloader menu.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chillaxx:
Great method, i am rooted. But i am having the same problems. Starting up an holding power and volume down does not do anything but a brief vibration and a black screen. Are we doing something wrong? I have retraced my steps in rooting, and did everything as described in the first post. Please help?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morgan39:
Ok, I was wrong, what happened is that holding Power + Vol up and as I have not installed CWM would not start and stay with the black screen.

If I hold Power + Vol down, entered the bootloader and then with Vol up in recovery but I havent recovery installed and I see the dead androide...........

Thank you very much Diamondback for clearing my doubts.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shady503403:

a little help please

Hey everyone, I just got my prime, followed all steps in op, the tool says i'm rooted. I can get into recovery and flash roms, but superuser says i'm not rooted, and i can't get any root apps to work(obviously). Did I do something wrong, or missed something? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I got it working with some more trial and error :o)

The above reply was Posted as a response to my Question back in Feb. about Rooting but waiting to Unlock until later.I Rooted back in Feb. with 4.5 while I was on .14 and I have updated Firmware to .15 and all is Great with Rooting. I was going to Unlock this Morning but I don't see an "Unlock App" in my App Drawer. How is this App listed in Drawer?

I see that the nachoroot also works on tf101. Anyway we can get a program like this for original tf?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Then this will work for ya :) I can rewrite it to say it works on the TF101 but you should be able to use this just fine.

Can someone help. Rooting worked perfectly, but I need to unroot it now, and it's not working. Is there any other way I can unroot? Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] damaged prawdukt:
Hmmm I cannot get this to work. I do not know what I am doing wrong.

I can not install the drivers, as they are already installed? and I cannot figure out how to install them without them reinstalling automatically.

When I start the program everything seems fine until it reboots the first time then it returns "Error: Device not found" on step 2.

Then it talks about something being 0 and to press yes or no if it is 0.

Any help?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattstakilla:
Thanx for the heads up. People r saying not to use it cuz its for a different tablet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jcase:
I said its not wise to use random roots on other devices, and that stands. It's not. I didn't write Nacho with the original Transformer in mind, and test against it.

If it works, great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chizzwhizz:
THANKS! This fixed my problem...now I can play my n64 emulator!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattstakilla:
I agree with everything you said. and for anyone wanting to know, it does work. will go back to my forum now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hiswayout:
Okay. I'm at the point where I'm about ready to smash my head against a brick wall... I did a factory reset on my Prime, and have tried multiple times on two different machines to get drivers working and I cannot for the life of me get it to work. I confirmed that I DO have a serial number tied, same in status as it says on the bottom of the device. But every time I plug in it still says unknown device. I have Debugging enabled, and and Asus Sync enabled. I've tried installing every driver I can find and still no luck. Is there anything to try? Or am I just out of luck until someone makes an APK for this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hollywould:
Bump.

Will Factory Resetting it unroot it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
just run the unroot method and bam!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hollywould:
I did that, and nothing happens. It just says Unrooting Prime.. All Done, and my device is still rooted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] damaged prawdukt:
This worked for me.

Should be included in the OP in my opinion.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b0nza1:
You will need to add drivers in by hand. Look for mtp or unknown / yellow warning in device manager. The right click and go to driver tab. Update driver choose driver location as the directory of the unzipped files (files u downloaded from vipers instructions) and check the box that says include subdirectories. Do this everytime the machine rebots until its rooted. You may have to specify the driver by hand. I think i ended up doing that before it stuck. None the less if it says 0 and 0 You should be good. Now one thing to note.... I had to update my super user because i had one on there from a restore. After that everthing way good. If i am wrong dont flame me as I am doing this from memory. But if your are even a little technical you should be able toget it.. if not maybe think about not rooting your devices. No offense.

Bon

Rooting. The gateway drug to [ROM] OVERDOSE!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
to unroot:

delete the su file in: /system/xbin

and uninstall super user and you are done!

Thank you very much for your help. That worked perfectly. Now I can go get my device exchanged at Best Buy. I thanks again.

app is listed "Unlock Device"...icon is a cogged gear with a gold lock
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
Thanks for reply. I guess I need to Re Flash because I don't have an App listed called "Unlock Device". Would having Flashing .15 firmware after having done my Rooting on .14 have caused the disappearance of this "unlock Device" app?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cernunnoz:
Will this be trackable? Say I have to RMA it, and I unroot before I send it in. Will they be able to tell that I have rooted?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RamAir02:
They will be able to tell you unlocked it. This tool uses the official ASUS Unlock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cernunnoz:
Too bad... Have anyone actually RMA'ed their prime after root? Did they charge your for the repairs? What happened?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desean:
there is a difference between rooting and unlocking. you don't have to be unlocked to be rooted. this tools uses the mempodroid exploit to root, not the asus unlock tool.

whether is it detectable by the the repair center? I don't know but my guess is no. Even if yes, I doubt they will go the trouble to check. Just my guess anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shreddintyres:
OK if you remove root before you send in your prime for RMA and remove root apps they should have no way of knowing that you had rooted, as others have stated if you have UNLOCKED ie installed alternate recovery image (CWM/CWR) they will be able to detect that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cernunnoz:
Would a factory reset remove every sign of root? Sorry if that`s a stupid questiont, pretty new to this...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] onebyside:
I used PrimeTime v4.5 on .15....dont think thats a prob...just run the v4.5 again and u should be good to go.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
no. you need to use a tool like viper 4.5 to unroot it. then remove any apps that need root permission also. just to be on the safe side. then you can do a factory reset/data wipe over top of all of that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] evilcuber:
How do i boot into cwm recovery? I push vol down and power and i get to a menu with 3 options, an android figure, a usb symbol and a factory reset symbol?

Also what version of cwm is this using?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you can use rom manager to make sure you have the latest CWM installed. it'll install it. don't use that app for anything else though as the other stuff doesn't work on prime.

to reboot into recovery mode, with power on, hold power and volume down button.keep holding it till device reboots and you see some white lettering on top of screen. then within 5secs. of seeing that, let go and press volume up. then you should be in CWM recovery.

you do need to be already rooted and unlocked to get get into CWM recovery mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cernunnoz:
Thanks a lot for the info:) Guess I will root this afternoon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] evilcuber:

I have ICS installed, version 9.x.x.11, and decided to take the risk...

I confirm option 1 roots the TF101 :D

mine is a B80 version and everything did work flawlessy (and very quick!)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eminembdg:
Does this still work for the TF101 after the latest bug fix OTA from Asus?

I also seem to have issues using Linux. I chmod the path to primetime.sh and when click it , it asks if I want to run in terminal. Should I run it in terminal?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eminembdg:
I keep getting " cannot stat " before every line of the script in the terminal. I searched for what this means and seen it has something to do with permissions or file not existing, but the files are in the PrimeTime folder and permissions seems fine. I did chmod the primetime.sh like directions said to. Any ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Screenshot please. And I dont know much about the TF101 since this was written for the Prime mainly.

I understand this is for tf202 mainly but was my understanding its basically same method for both.

Hey fellas

I need some help and am trying to find out what I'm doing wrong. My prime is currently rooted thanks to this program, backed up my apps with TB, downloaded ROM Manager to get the latest version of CWM (version 5.8.2.0). Now everysingle time I try to get into recovery mode, all I get is a dead symbol has his compartment opened with what a appears to be a hazardous symbol above the android. I hold down the "power and vol down button and let it reboot, i wait till the words on the up left hand screen appear, I let go of those buttons I'm holding down then press vol up and always get that dead android. Am I missing something here??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr108:
I think you may have neglected to Unlock your Prime before installing CWM. ViperMod downloads it for you, but I think you need to actually run it -- I did all of this stuff manually (for learning purposes), so I do not know ViperMod's interface. Do you remember agreeing to void your warranty with Asus? If not, you need to boot your Prime normally and run the unlock tool while connected to the internet ... and say good-bye to your warranty! :) (I already said bye to mine.)

After that, you will probaby have to reinstall CWM from ROM Manager...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ayk33:
i did use vipermod before cwm but still get the dead android :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr108:
Do you remember unlocking? Asus would have asked you to agree to voiding your warranty with a checkbox, and then your device would unlock. If you do not remember this, run the unlock .apk yourself. ViperMod does not unlock your device itself, it (or you) would have to run the unlock .apk from Asus... perhaps that failed somehow.

Your Prime will boot normally, right? Otherwise, you may have a different issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ayk33:

Hello, I was looking at a samsung galaxy 10.1 and then upon research saw it had NO expansion, I soon discovered tonight of the Asus Transformer Prime and looks like it fit the bill, I want to pick one of these up

So I popped on the forum here and saw this ViperMOD which looks like a sweet method. I just have a question in regards to models.

there are

Model:TF201-C1-CG-CBIL

Model:TF201-B1-GR-CBIL

Model:TF101-A2-CBIL

Model:TF101-A1-CBIL

Model:TF101-B1-CBIL

Model:TF101-A1

Which models is this root method safe with, in red that not to boot something on the 101's as it was ONLY for the 201's

is this method safe for all models or should I be purchasing a specific model ?

I am really excited to get my tab as i was going to get it tomorrow, but wanted to clear the air with some things first. Thanks for the help :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
I believe that Viper's tool will work with all of them as they are very similar. What kind of deal are you getting on the transformer? I was looking at the Galaxy tab and the original transformer too and ended up breaking down and getting the prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bytetemplar:
Thanks Viperboy for this script!

I just rooted my TF101 b70 running 9.2.1.17 using PrimeTime 4.1 for Linux on my Debian Sid box. Was super easy too!

I had to give adb (that comes in zip) also rights to be executed for the script to work btw. This is not mentioned in any instructions, only for the primetime.sh script. Maybe add a line "chmod +x adb" in the primetime.sh script for future version?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eminembdg:
Yea I had to do the same on my Ubuntu setup. Took me a while to.figure that part out lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unibombz:
I went with the 64gb version, they are on back order a lot well the 32gb is, so i ended up finding a 64 gb. Waiting for it to ship to me. I am really excited to start using the tab.

With vipers root method, does that include a custom rom and kernel right in the package ? I am looking to get a nice CLEAN rom without all the bloatware and some kind of stable kernel :)

I hope it all works out, i am really excited to get it and root this sucker ! Any recommendations please feel free to let me know, thanks

P.S. Also with the file system on these androids... I have noticed (on my samsung skyrocket phone) they can not take .mkv with file sizes over 4gb .... is it because the sd card needs to be formatted ntfs-3g ? or something along those lines ? I was hoping I could toss on some blurays to test how it works on the tab when i get it, any one have luck with tossing .mkv on the device let me know. thanks

The unlock tool sends Asus your Prime's serial number. Your warranty is void once you unlock.
